My day starts early in the mooring. Getting my two children up, and getting myself up and ready. My students don’t think life is hard for a teacher. All they see is a little short young woman with two kids. They don’t see my hardships, or my struggles in life. I don’t give all of my secrets away, but I let them see the good side of my life. I want to be a light to the students, and let them know that life can be a great adventure, but they are the tour guide.
I come into the classroom knowing what I am going to teach, but not knowing what will happen. What if there is a fight, or some one gets stabbed by a pencil. Being a teacher is scary. I look at all of my students, some are great students and try hard, but others sleep all class period. I only wish that they would wake up, and realize that this class isn’t so bad. I look into all of the students eyes, I see loneliness, depression, and sadness. If only they knew how much I actually cared. I want all of my students to be successful, and happy.
